The Fisher family are having a quiet evening at home. They are wondering what to watch on television. Listen and read.
Ronnie
Switch on the TV, Pam. What’s on tonight?
Pam
There’s a comedy on Channel 4 and there’s a sitcom on BBC 2 at 6.35.
Ronnie
You know I hate sitcoms. Is there a quiz on?
Pam
I’ll have a look in the TV guide. Yes, there’s the Weakest Link on BBC 2 at 7.05.
Mrs Fisher
Are there any good films on?
Pam
There’s a romantic comedy on ITV and there’s a horror film on BBC 2.
Mr Fisher
Are there any sports programmes on?
Pam
Let me see. Hmm ... Yes, there’s a football match on.
Mr Fisher
Oh, at what time and on what channel?
Mrs Fisher
But I don’t want to watch football, Paul. I hate it.
Video the match, I want to watch the romantic comedy on ITV.
But first I have to see the next episode of Coronation Street.
Ronnie
Mum, how can you watch those soaps!?
There has never been anything sillier on TV.
Mrs Fisher
It doesn’t matter if they’re silly.
Ronnie
But I want to watch the Weakest Link.
Mrs Fisher
Go upstairs and watch what you want on the portable.
I’m going to watch Coronation Street now.
Mr Fisher
Sometimes I think that we need four TV sets.
